C5 Malvern Automatic Mk III

C5 Malvern Automatic Mk III

Steel White

In 2005, the C5 Malvern Mk I introduced the world to our goal of bringing high-end horology to as many people as possible. With a new case design and an array of upgraded features, the new C5 Malvern Automatic Mk III takes that original philosophy to a whole new level.

Description

The C5 Malvern is a watch that's close to our hearts. And in its new Mk III iteration, it has received its most comprehensive redesign yet, while still retaining the classic British design cues that make it so popular.

The most radical departure is the introduction of a new case, inspired by the signature design of our premium dress watch, the C1 Grand Malvern. Fluid 'light-catcher' lines, complemented by brushed and polished steel surfaces, elevate the C5 into a rarefied arena usually inhabited by far more expensive dress watches. With a case diameter of 39mm, it's perfect for all wrists of all sizes.

Meanwhile, the rotor of the Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 movement carries a bespoke Colimaçoné-finish that is also engraved with our twin-flag motif. This level of detail is matched with a wealth of features elsewhere: a beveled date window sits opposite the logo, while the camber of the dial provides a depth that captures the light beautifully.

The C5 Malvern Automatic is an aesthetic and technical tour-de-force. We're proud to make this watch, and hope you'll feel the same level of pride every time you wear it.

Movement

With 26 jewels and an anti-shock system (necessary for ensuring smooth timekeeping throughout everyday use), the SW200-1 is an industry-revered movement. Dependable and accurate, it features a self-winding mechanism and a 38 hour power reserve, while a date wheel sits at 3 o’clock.

It is a testament to the SW200-1’s dependability in that not only have we made it viewable through the transparent caseback, but we have embellished it with extra detailing: this is a movement to be admired. A Colimaçoné finish has been applied to the rotor arm, with our twin-flag pattern being engraved onto it after. A feature that many will not even see when the Mk III is worn on the wrist, it is just another example of the no-stone-left-unturned attitude we had in creating the C5 Malvern Automatic Mk III.
